Alan Chan's new driving game Red Rover may not be the type of thing in which you blast hostile aliens, but it uses satellite and terrain data from the HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment ) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to create an astoundingly photorealistic experience that could be the next best thing to actually standing on the Red Planet , no space suit required.

Three months ago, the Air Force awarded a $354.8 million contract to United Launch Alliance , SpaceX's main competitor, for two launches relating to the AFSPC-8 and AFSPC-12 satellite missions. If the SpaceX military mission is successful, the Falcon Heavy "could displace ULA's Delta IV simply on cost grounds", the media outlet reports, citing industry sources. Consulte Mais Informação

A key question for scientists is why some dust storms on Mars become planet-enshrouding events and last months, while others fade away in a week. For a rover that survives entirely on solar power, a dust storm like this could be a death sentence. Consulte Mais Informação

And Metrolink is joining in with a special free travel offer for early risers and evening commuters, who can travel for FREE before 7am or after 7pm .

The Air Force Space Command-52 satellite flight is believed to be the first time that the Falcon Heavy rocket has competed head-to-head with a United Launch Alliance rocket for a military mission, and obviously it came out on top. The announcement did not name the other party, but a report surmised it could be ULA, a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin . SpaceX's Falcon 9 is about as big as a 21-story building.

Space experts at NASA explained: "Like all the planets in our solar system, Earth and Mars orbit the sun". "In fact, you will be hard pressed to miss it", Regas told Newsweek . "2017 was one of the off-years, but, in 2018, we'll have a grand view of Mars - best since 2003". "The paths the planets take around the sun are slightly tilted with respect to each other".

The dust storm has knocked NASA's Opportunity rover offline for want of sunlight. Mars, though, is an ideal place for dust storms to occur. The rover has been exploring Mars since 2004. In a press conference last week, NASA officials said they expect Opportunity will survive the dust storm. While Opportunity is powered by sunlight, which is blotted out by dust at its current location, Curiosity has a nuclear-powered battery that runs day and night. Consulte Mais Informação

With all that in mind, Gizmodo stressed that the researchers did not actually confirm a change in the length of a Venusian day, but rather ran a simulation that hints at that possibility. Simulations showed that the gravitational waves usually appear around noon and quickly disappear with the sunset. The researchers used their model to not only support the prediction that this phenomenon was a Venusian gravity wave, but that it could force the entire planet to fluctuate how it rotates on its ...

According to the overwhelming scientific consensus, the planet is warming at a rate accelerated by the greenhouse gases from human activity. This shows that the ice loss is now triple than the normal amount which is going to lead to a dramatic rise in sea levels. Consulte Mais Informação

Opportunity and its twin rover, Spirit, which arrived the same month, both carrying a suite of scientific instruments to study the terrain, operated on opposite sides of the planet. The most recently recorded storm was in 2007. They can quickly balloon into regional storms, and sometimes expand to engulf the entire planet. The most powerful surface winds encountered on Mars would not topple a spacecraft, although they can sandblast dust particles into the atmosphere. Consulte Mais Informação

In January 2005, in the nucleus of the merging galaxies Arp 299 , situated at nearly 150 million light years from Earth, a bright flash was detected that was considered a supernova explosion. They have also theorised that after the star is obliterated, its material forms a rotating disk around the black hole and launches jets outward at almost the speed of light. Consulte Mais Informação

In an interview with conservative talk radio host Laura Ingraham, who expressed exasperation with Pruitt's incessant ethics scandals - which range from building himself a $43,000 private telephone booth to using his position to land his wife a job with Chick-fil-A - Inhofe said it all needs to stop.
